Kochi: KSUM’s Innovation Week ended on Saturday with 10,000 participants benefiting on tech matters.
KSUM is the nodal agency of the Kerala government for entrepreneurship development and incubation activities in the state.
The brilliance in the innovative ideas of the state’s youth came to the fore at Kerala Innovation Week, as the event, held from May 22 to 28, concluded by giving the new generation a string of tips that can enrich their entrepreneurial spirit along with penchant for technology.
While a Creator’s Summit was among the key sessions on Saturday, the venue at Technology Innovation Zone at Kalamassery saw experts in digital science discuss trends. The event also gave Kerala’s investors an opportunity to virtually meet investors abroad to expand markets to western countries such as the UK and Canada.
While there were facilities to visit fablabs on the concluding day, the Innovation Week hosted a Makeathon where students showcased their innovative idea-backed prototypes, free training in robotics and display of design-3D-maker products, besides a fashion show, music night and a food festival.
The Innovation Week enabled students to put their products on display. Also, the event hosted stalls on KSUM’s RINK (Research Innovation Network Kerala) that functions as a bridge between research centres and the marketing potential of their products.
Another highlight was a set of sessions for women that focused on technology-based job prospects. A panel discussion on ‘Why Hack? Innovate Her’, in association with multinational Ernst & Young, invited impressive response from the delegates.
